wouldnt be too suprised if Welch wins

Went back and forth on Ayala but he has not looked good lately. Thatās also why I had Lilledahlās match as close. He has looked a bit sluggish in the last few. Welch may very well pull it off, everyone seems to be writing him off as a contender and forgetting what he did last season. But I think Iowas best chances are at 141, 184 and heavy. The dual shouldnāt be close. PS I think Barr would have beaten Endene anyway.

Ferrari is young, I think welsh might take that one. I have enjoyed watching Barr since he came back, he looks so dominant and overpowering in his matches. It wouldnāt surprise me if lidlehall loses one here soon, he did not look good against Rutgers.
i think peterson beat lidlehall last year but ill take lidlehall
He did look slower and more sluggish. I am sure he will come out fired up in Carver. Peterson is tough though. I think it will be close unless there is a fluke fall off a scramble. As for Ferrari, sooner or later someone is gonna figure out how to deal with that unorthodox style, could be Rocco.
Pat Mineo just shared a video of some guy on X. He said that Endene has an injured neck and the Brands Bros were trying to force him to get a Cortisone Injection into his neck. Endene didnāt want to because he doesnāt out anything unnatural Into his body. This is a guess on my part, but perhaps he is Islamic as they donāt view medicine and chemicals the way we do in the West. Anyway, when Endene said no, the Brands Bros and their $ guy told him he was cut from the team.
Again- this is all just based on something I saw online so it may be totally false.
Iāve seen thatā¦
Other online speculation-
He was cut with no explanationā¦
NIL wasnāt coming through and he quitā¦
He poppedā¦
The Brands cut him because they are racistā¦
The pressure of a new born and being a student athlete was too muchā¦
Nobody knows but everyone has an opinion because it is Iowa and nobody gets the hate like Iowaā¦
Mehā¦
i wont say what i heard i dont want start rumor but its almost the opposite
ok u said it I heard hes on steroids
Who was the last person who popped mid-season?
Who was the last person in college who popped at all?
I heard that his name was just too damn hard to say for the Brands Bros and it finally came to a head
Obviously just a rumor
I like Tommy but I think they need to start looking at moving on from him and his brother.
by any legitimate rationale, if the Brands needs to be replaced then every college coach outside of Cael needs to be replacedā¦
you can leave DT off that list for a few more years even though he continues to get smoked by iowa in dualsā¦
FWIWā¦
I saw a clip yesterday of Otto wearing an Iowa tee at the OTC campā¦
Is Otto still committed to being a Hawkeye???
What a great āinsiderā takeā¦

Too much smoke there for there not to be fire. If even part of this is accurate, Brands Bros should be done.

Iāve got mixed feelingsā¦
NIL has changed college sports and this feels like one of the inevitable outcomesā¦ athletes are getting paid to win no matter what the verbiage says on the rules/contractsā¦ if you canāt do that then move onā¦
In pro sports when athletes are injured they are not hanging around the locker rooms or in practiceā¦
This is just the way it isā¦
I have said this before and I will say it againā¦ even though it was tried, ultimately I am very pleased neither of the boys are in this current D1 environment and I can guarantee they would both agreeā¦

If this really happened as reported in that post, I bet the lawyers are lining up to sue the brothers and the university. I would further bet race gets brought into it somehow even if not remotely related.
